I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I’ve got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I’ve got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
NOT! Unless it’s reasonably priced, it has a purpose, it’s stylish and my baby likes it!
Let’s face it, there is such a huge market out there for baby products. I will be the first to admit that when I found out I was pregnant, I was overwhelmed with all the baby gadgets and gizmos. I didn’t know where to begin my research or what to start researching. In fact, I was afraid to research anything, but I knew I had to be done if I wanted the best for my Pinky!
A lot of my research was done via the internet. I relied on a lot of reviews both personal and online. I also interviewed the sales clerks at USA Baby and Babies R Us getting the most out of their knowledge and expertise. Finally, I asked all the moms I could find. Most of the items I purchased I had stumbled upon, like the very expensive Bugaboo Chameleon Stroller I saw while having lunch at Ruby’s. I stopped this woman on her way out while she was pushing her memorizing bright pink stroller along with her cute and ever so comfortable baby girl! “Excuse me, what kind of stroller is that?” Little did I know that that question would be nearly $800! Don’t get me wrong, I love the Bugaboo, but Pinky not so much! Thank goodness her crib and car seat were gifted to us!
The three items I felt that were important to research were the car seat, the stroller and the wrap/sling/carrier whatever you want to call it. With this in mind I began my quest for the best, and the best ain’t cheap. At least the way I wanted it, practical and stylish. Here’s a list of my top 5 picks thus far. Every item has its pros and cons and I am not overly happy with any one item as of now, but all have done their job and have proven to work well. For some products, you really need to see how baby feels about them before you buy them. So I am in no way endorsing any of these products. They are just a few of the many items I’ve purchased so far. All I know is if Pinky were making this list, there would only be one thing on it, MOMMY!
